Thank you for your query, jerome johnson.

Yes, Amara also works with audio files. However, as with all Amara transcription, the original media file must be accessible online.

See e.g https://amara.org/en/videos/nVoBupK1NuEm/info/naufrages-en-mediterranee-a-qui-la-faute-rts-quinze-minutes-26-octobre-2013/ : the URLs tab shows that the page streams an mp3 file hosted on rts.ch. 

And you can download each of the existing subtitle sets  as a TXT file by going to the relevant language sub-page and choosing TXT from the drop list that opens from the Download button.

Best,

Claude
